The entire machine is not shown. Themain wheel, cutting apparatus, andchain drivinggears, the grain end of the platform, the reel, draft pole,and driverls seat are omitted, they all being of. the ordinarywell-known forms.

The frame-work of the machine may be ofany suitable construction; but,ashere shown,

it is composed of base or main frame sills A A A, and a secondary framesupported above the same. The base-frame carries the grainplatformE,-which is slotted for the passage of I the chains F, or the teeththereon, and is also provided with the usual cutting apparatus G.

The secondary frame is composed of front and rear rails, B B, andcross-rails B 13 G, the latter being elevated on the posts D. The

drive-wheel is located between the cross-rails B B, and the secondaryframe is supported by the base-frame through the medium of posts H H. v

The chains F are supported upon the rollershaft fiat their inner ends,which shaft is driven by the chain which passes over the sprocket-wheelX. The front end of the shaft W is provided with a miter-wheel, WV,which engages with and drives the miter-wheel V, which last-namedmiter-wheel drives or carries the roller S, upon which the butter-belt Sis mounted, and by which it is operated. A similar but smaller roller isplaced at the opposite end of the butter. These rollers are mounted inand supported by a small frame, (shown in detail at Figs. 14, 15, 16,)which frame, as shown, is composed of two end boards and two cross-bars,for keeping the end boards in position. rollers is placed the travelingbelt of the but ter S, which is provided with cleats or other suitablemeans for moving the butts of the grain along the fixed platform.

Around these two This travelturn upon the roller S, or its bearings, sothat.

its upper end may be pushed in or out, as;de-.l

sired, for short or long grain. The butter is capable of being adjustedso as to lie in a line 1 parallel with the receiving-platform, for thepurpose of evening long grain, but for short grain the upper end of thebutter is thrown inward so as to deflect the grain and carry it along onthe platform, whereby the grainris delivered to the binder in suchposition that the band or cord will be in itsproper position on thebundle. By making the butter a traveling one, it crowds the grain overwithout retarding the butts, and in all cases it keeps the buttsup andprevents them from lagging or fallingbehind or choking at the divider.The moving of the butter is under the control of the driver, by means ofthe link T, lever or three parts, J J K. The central part, K, is thebinder-head cap or coverer and carries on the under side thecord-tucking device.

At its outer end it is at a higher elevation or extreme stubble side ofthis platform we point passes.

have provided a shield, K, (shown in elevation at Fig. 10,) and is cutaway at 42, to form shoulders for folding the discharging-fingers, andthe part opposite the plate K is provided with a slot, through which thebinding-arm The parts J J K K are preferably made of sheet metal; butmay be made partly of wood, if desired. vOverhanging thisreceiving-platform and attached to the crossbar 0 are two guide-bars, L,which are carried down and bent at L, and curved down at L, as shown inFigs. 3 and 9. They are also attached to the arm Q of thebinder-mechanism supporting-frame Q. WVe have shown two of these arms;but additional ones may be ap plied, if desired. These bars are bent inthe form shown for shielding the binding-arm and packing-fingers at thethroat, and are curved upward at L for the purpose of forming a spacefor receiving sufficient grain to form a gavel to be bound, and arecurved downward at their outer ends, L, to serve as a guide for thebundle, and to hold the bound bundle against the discharging-fingers.

The binder-mechanism supporting-frame Q is cast in the form shown indetail, Figs. 18, 19, 20, and is supported by the foot or bracket :0upon the front sill, A, and by the foot '1 upon the brace I. The bar Iis most conveniently supported, by being at an angle supporting its rearend upon the cross-sill A, and its forward end upon the front sill-bar,A, at or near the cross-sill B; but, if desired, it may be independentlysupported from the cross-sill A. The upper end of the frame or casting Qis provided with cross-heads O O, which form a support for theshaft Nand for theshafts g and h. The shaft N extends beyond the crosshead O tothe rear cross-sill, B, where it has an additionafsupport or j ournal,and is provided with the gear-wheel X,

which gear-wheel engages with a corresponding gear-wheel upon the backof a sprocketwheel, X. The shaft N is provided with double or reversecranks N. (Shown in detail in Fig. 7.) These cranks are located over thecap or cover plateK, and operate thepacking-fingers a. v

The swinging guide M is attached to the shaft N, so as to turn freelythereon. This guide is made with arms,-as shown at Fig. 7, and a head,as shown at Fig. 8. The head is provided with two pivot or trunnionsockets, 12, through which the rear ends or extensions of with it.

the packing-fingers a pass and slide. This swinging guide M is connectedwith the binding-arme by means of a link, d, so that the swinging guidewill rise or fall with the binding-arm e. The binding-arm ecarries thecord, by a suitable eye at its point, and is provided with an extension,6, which serves as a divider to part the grain and to hold the flowinggrain back while the bundle is being bound. The

binding-arm e is attached to the rear end of 4/ the shaft h, which shaftis supported, as before stated, in the cross-heads O O of the frame Q:These heads also support the shaft 9, to which is attached the trippingcompressing-arm f, also two or more detaining-fingers, f, four beingshown. The tripping compressing-arm f holdsthe grain against the arm e,while the binding is being performed, and

the detaining-arms f hold the grain from getting out of position.

The front end of the shaft N is provided with a gear-wheel, n, 'to whichis attached the plate or disk j, which disk is provided with a pin, asshown at Figs. 24: and 28. Supported upon this plate is a pawl, 1'.(Shown in detail in Figs. 25, 26.) This pawl is provided with aguide-pin or friction-roller, m, which engages with the stops Z on theinner face of the disk 1?, which is made fast to the shaft. Its free end03 is provided with a flange, or is widened, so as to engage with theclutchtripping arm 00. (See Fig. 1.) The other end is provided with aprojection, i, which acts as a stop, coming in contact with a hub ondisk j, and prevents it from being thrown over 'or out of workingposition. The pawl t is also held in position by the spring 6 or itsequivalent. The construction of the parts just described will be readilyunderstood from Figs. 24, 25, 2e, 27, 2s.

The clutch-trip arm or lever 00 is attached to the front end of theshaft 9, and its free end comes against the free end or flange of thepawl i. The rotation of the shaft N throws the roller m out of contactwith the catches or lugs Z of the disks 1?, which disengages thegear-wheel 'n from the shaft N and stops the movement of the train ofwheels connected The shaft N continues its revolution, while the otherparts of the binding apparatus are at rest. The clutch-shipper arm 00 isheld up by the arm 00 and the spring connectinglink with the crank e.

The spring connectinglink is shown in detail at Figs. 21 and 22. It iscomposed of a frame, a, rods a a, screws and nuts ccc, which aresupported in cross-plates a. The upper rod, a, is provided with aspring, b, which is adjusted by the nut 0. The frame a is provided wit-hshoulders b, which limit the upward movement of the rod a. The rod a isprovided with a spring, I), which is ad justed by the nut 0, whichadjusts the spring and also the length of the coupling. The ten- IOOsion of the spring b can also be adjusted by the nut c. The springconnecting-link above described subserves the function of permitting theclutchtrip lever azto be operated with a yielding pressure, and at thesame time,

gives compression to the bundle while permitting the compressorarm f toyield under the pressure of the packed grain. This is effected by makingthe upper spring, I), of less power or tension than the lower spring, b,so that the first movement of the compressorarm Io f causes the arm torise against the pressure or tension of the upper spring, I), therebydepressing the opposite end of theclutchtrip arm. The yielding of thearm f whilethe bundle is being compressedis, as above stated,

permitted by the lower spring, 1), although itmay sometimes be the casethat both springs will be compressed in this movement, since it will notalways happen that the upper spring is completely compressed when thelever is actuated to trip.

The wheel 0 is provided on its inner face with a miter-gearing engagingwiththe miterwheel T, which rotates the shaft 8 and the crank t. Theshaft 8 is supported in and by the frame Q, and a sleeve or hub, s. Thecrank t drives the arm or link a, which link, at its opposite end, isconnected with the fork o. The link a is curved, as shown in Fig. 13,and is provided with a slot, at, through which the pin a passes andsupports the link. The ob- .ject of the curve is to carry the fork '0back in swivel-eye w is on the post D. a i

The shaft h is provided at its frontend with the arm or crank 41, towhich is connected the double connecting-link 38 and 39, provided withan adj Listing-screw, 40, for the adjustment of its length. The lowerend of thisadjustable connection is pivoted to the wheel by a wrist-pin.Through this connecting-link, arm,

or crank 41 and shaft h power and motion are.

communicatedto the binding-arm e.

, The wheel h is an idler, sofar as the train ofgear is concerned; butit is provided on its outer face with two pins or stops, it. In therotation of the wheel these pins strike against the arm h, whichoperates the tension-plate 18 of the cord-box, through the rod h, atproper intervals.

The tension device, as shown inFigs. 12, 17, is simply a spring workingfrom below against an upper plate, the cord passing between the springand plate. In the form shown in Fig. 13 the tension device has a hingedplate interposed between the spring and thefixed plate.

The wheel q is provided on its inner face with an eccentric-groove orcam, 37, formed by the shoulder 36, Fig. 11. is so constructed withreference to the movement of the wheel that the compressor f'is heldbundle is being bound, and thrown up when the bundle is ready to bedischarged. The arm 6 is provided with a projecting roller, (shown inFig. 18,) which operates in the groove 37, and its rear end is pivotedto the frame Q. (Shown also in Fig. 18.) This wheel drives the shaft q,to which :are at tached the cam-wheels 2425, (shown in Figs. 23 and 23%)which cam-wheels are located immediately beneath the receiving-platform,as shown in Fig. 9. 1Oam-wheel 24 carries the discharging-arm 27, whichis pivoted theretoby the wrist-pin 26, and-also operates bellcrank15.,showhihni ea flhedischagging-arm 27 is provided with anexte nsion orheel, 33, (shown in dotted lines in Figs. 3, 9,) which heel comes incontact with the stop 34, fixed to the receiving-platform, and is bysuchstop thrown out at the proper time to engage the bound bundle and moveit away from the tying devices. The arm 27 isturnedback out of the wayby co ningiin contact with the bottom 4.2 of the slot ,in lshield K,which, as the wheel,revolves, crow'ds the arm in, it being free to turnon the wrist-pin or pivot26. The disk 25 is attached to, the rear end ofthe shaft and has attached to it, by the wrist-pin 28, anotherdischarging-arm, 29, which is provided with a heel' or extension,andthere connected by the pivot-pin 35, which passes through the spring31 and'the guide 32, said link having a pin, 33, between which and theguide 32 the coiled spring is arranged. Thisarrangement bringsjthe arm29 in contact with the bundle in unison with the arm 27, so that bothact (one on each side of the cord) together in dischargibg the bundleafter it is bound. Cam-wheel 25 has on its front face aneccentric-groove, in which theroller 16 (shown in Fig. 29) operates tomove the bellcrank 15, and a gear-segment, :0 which is at intervalsbrought into engagement withapinion, 9, on the knotter-shaft. Fig. 23shows wheel 25, with its epcentric-groove w", in which wheel or roller16 is received; and in Fig. 29

the wheel 25 is shdwn partly in section and partly in full lines.

The "bell-crank L5 is connected by a pin with the sliding plate 1,7,which sliding plate is pro videdwith the cord-guide 18 at one edge andthe knife 44, Fig. 30, at the opposite edge. This sliding plateg isoperated by a cam-groove in wheel 25, (seeiiFig. 23",) operating on thefriction-roller at the end of the bell-crank 15, Fig. 29.

The knotter head'or frame 7, as shown in detail and enlarged in Figs.29, 30, 31, is supported by the foot 3 upon the brace I, and is locatedbetween the disks or wheels '24 25.

The cam-groove in place by means of a crank, 6, when the,

The bel1-cranlq 13 is provided at its upper end with the pivot-dog 11,held in operative position by the spring 12. This dog 11 operates thedisks 10, which carry the cord-holder 22, through the medium of theratchet-wheels '23, Fig. 3, but these parts being of ordinaryconstruction and operation, further explana tion is not essential.

In operation, as the machine is drawn along, the cut grain falls uponthe platform E, and is delivered to the binding-platform by the thetoothed chains F, where the packing-arms a receive it, and they being inthe working position shown in Fig. 9, the grain is by these carriedforward beyond or behind the bend L of the guide arms or rods L, whereit remains until a sufficient quantity is accumulated to press back thecompressing arm f. This pressing back of the compressing-arm f bringsdown the front end of the clutch-tripping arm or crank 00, disengagingit from the pawl t. The spring i then forces the roller'm into en gagingposition with one of the projections Z of the disk I, which throws thetrain of gearing at the front of the machine into motion. As soon as thetrain of gearing is put in motion, the wheel g, by means of the links 3839 and crank 41, rotates the shaft h,and brings down the binding-arm efrom the position shown in Fig. 9 to that shown in Fig. 3. As thebinding-arm descends, it comes in contact with the crank 1 3, Fig. 4,which throws the tucker 5 in front of the binding-arm and into the spacebetween the cord and binding-arm, formed by the curvature of the arm andstraight line of the cord, the projecting plate K holding the grain upfrom off the cord at that point, and is then carried forward by thebinding-arm to the knotting-hook, thus plac ing the cord in positionforthe knotter-hook to receive it, in which position the tucker thenremains until the binding-arm recedes, when it is thrown back by thespring 4. against the stop 2. The said crank, tucker, spring, and stopare located on the under side of the plate K, and are guarded orprotected against straws by a descending plate, 6,-as the binding-armpasses through the slot in the plate K, on each side of which slot isarranged one of the prjections 7c, which subserve the function ofraising or lifting the grain at this point. The binding platform ortable is usually made of sheet metal or other thin material, and thetuckingarm is located to operate underneath this table, leaving only thethickness of the table between the tucking-arm and the gavel to bebound, the result being that an insufficient space is left between thegrain and the tucking-arm for the tucking-arm to act freely and clearlyin carrying the binding-cord to the tying devices. The projection k,being located directly over where the tucker-arm operates, supports thegavel that much higher above the plane of operation of the tuckingarm,leaving a 'clear space for the movement of the arm without any liabilityof influence from the grain of the gavel. When the bind-' ing-arm edescends to the position shown in Fig. 3, the link (Z brings down theswingingguide M, thus throwing the packing-arms out of contact with thegrain without stopping their movements. When the binding-arm is in theposition shown in Fig. 9, the tucker 1 3 returns to its normal positionby means of the spring 4, and the same movement, through the link d,turns the guide-arms M upward, which brings the packing-fingers a incontact with the grain.

It will be obvious from the foregoing eX- planation that thepacking-fingers are contin uously operated; but their action on thegrain is intermittent, such fingers being automatically adjusted to andfrom the grain in such manner that while the latter is being bound thefingers do not engage or act on the grain.

lVhen the binding-arm is in the position shown in Fig. 3, the gavel iscompressed be tween the binding-arm and the compressor f, and when inthis position, the gear-wheels being in operation, the knotter is put inmotion, the knot tied, and the cord severed. At this point thedischarging-arms 27 and 29 comein contact with the bundle and throw itout against the rear end L of the giiiderods, and carry it down towardor to the ground. If, by reason of tangled grain, a bundle should remainat the point where the discharging-fingers have left it, then upon thestarting down of the binder-arm again the discharging-fork 1) de scendsand carries the bundle back and out of l the machine. Thisbundle-discharging fork is so timed by the crank t that it does notstrike the bundle until just before the second one is formed, so that inbinding grain the bundle is usually out of the way before the forkdescends, its object being to prevent the accumulation of bundles at thedischargingpoint by reason of tangled grain or defective operation ofthe other parts. While the com-- pressing-arm is thrown back, the arm :0of the shaft 9 is held down and the movement of the train continues. Assoon as the compressorarm is liberated from pressure by'the discharge ofthe bundle,.it is returned to the position shown in Fig. 9 by thespring-coupling connected with the arm. vThis movement of the arm 00will throw up the arm 00, so as to engage arm 00 with the pawl z, andthereby throw its roller an out of contact with the lug or projection Zof the disk P, which movement causes the train of gear to stop until itis again thrown out by pressure against the arm f. The binding-cord isbrought from the cord-box R to the binding-arm, by means of screw-eyes,to hold it in any convenient position, and the tension device is soarranged and timed that the tension will be off when the binding-arm isup and the gavel is being formed, and it will be on when the binding-armcommences to descend. As the pins 71/ of the wheel h pass from underthearm or lever 72/, the spring 8 of the tension device will be free tooperate against the cord until again lifted by the pin h, acting againstthe lever h, through the rod IIO h, which connects it with thetension-spring 8, this arrangementof devices being timed to take off andput on the tension at proper intervals. i 7

We have shown at 45, Fig. 2, a clearer, through which the fork o '0.passes when rising for its return movement. I11 passing through thisclearer any bundle or straws which may have adhered to the fork arestripped off, so as to keep the fork clear and clean. It will be seenfrom Fig. 2 that the outer or forward end of thebutter S, with itsoperating shaft or roller is located in front of the cutter-bar nearthe" inner end of the cutting apparatus and the platform E. Thislocation of the fixed end of the butter causes it to act as a rotatingdivider, which carries or guides into the cutting apparatus any standinggrain that may come in the way, keeping the platform and the cuttingapparatus clear at this point, and dispensing with the necessity ofusing any other divider. readily understood that the rotation of thedivider gives it an improved action. and the action is still furtherimproved by the cleats shown.

WVe have illustrated and described in this case packer devices, andmeans for continuously operating and intermittently moving the same toand from the grain; but the same is not claimed herein, as suchconstitutes the subject of an application filed by us May 19,

1881, Serial No. 33,713, of which this is a di- VlSlOll.
